More / Better Moderators needed.

[Cixso]

It happens with moderators and any other staff, this is why MAD would pick 10 users and staf then the public would vote from them, 6 each or how ever many. Giving it a fair vote for MAD and the public.

But then without a doubt, they are going to say:

X number of infractions yet people change so it's unfair in my opinion.

[today]

then user2 would get in the council instead of user1 as user2 has 19 noinations ... it may take time and effort but it would get there, i'm personally up to putting alot of time into getting this going

But it would be wasting time for MAD and other staff where they could be doing their job, making backlogs.

As i said applications then public voting. 10 users and staff each put in the poll then public votes from that,

Otherwise some 'fools' will get nonimated.

Edit:
Yes, we discussed infractions though it would depend on how many, and as its NOT a official staff group it wouldnt matter as much.

I swear my last 3 posts have just been ignored :[

Thats why in another one of my posts i said about getting an independent group to going through the applications as it woudn't be a staff position but instead a members council placement

Apps, and then members vote on the top 15.
Then 6 get picked.

Easy :]

Perhaps not age, but being able to be mature and able to construct arguments properly along with being able to give a certain amount of time a week would be needed.

I dont think age should matter. Some 13 years old here would make a better council member than a 16 year old.
Also people could just lie about their age.

Hmm true, but I'm looking into the "GCSE zones" as joshuar didn't have time for HXW because of his education.

In all honesty, whichever way they are chosen people will complain. If you are picked via management decision people will claim it was biased if you people are picked via nominations or votes it will turn into a popularity contest and a bit of both and I can imagine that people will still moan and complain. Things seem amazing from a distance but I can imagine if this got running people would feel they are not listened too, the only people who would feel considered and listened too would be the councillors themselves which would not really help. Even if the majority of people agree on something then it can't alway be implemented and with a council you don't always see what everyone wants whereas with a forum like this one everyone can post their personal views. If the councillors don't agree with a public idea it would end up being simply ignored which I feel would be worse for the members in a way. Overall sadly as much as I'd like this to work I just don't see it happening.

Sorry for killing/trashing this idea, I love all your ideas and comments I just sadly do not see this working at all.

Which is why i said council members should serve a shorter term, 3-6 months of being on the council befor ebeing revoted, surely someone who did nothing wouldnt get the same vote.. and perhaps the popular people might be the ones we are after, ether way it has problems but atleast when members do it, members can see that one of them is up there rather then someone who was chosen by mad for a fixen op.
